    Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

    Is that outdoorsy clothing thing new though? I feel like the North Face fleece + gore-tex climbing jacket has been the norm in Boston for at least a decade. Which is another city with no real mountains within four or five hours (although the jackets are practical just because of how damn cold it...

    The Uniqlo Thread

    Nope not yet but I haven't washed them. I don't think the fabric seems likely to have that problem. They're more smooth than soft.

    Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

    I think Outlier is really business casual city wear that's marketed to office workers with outdoorsy aspirations, or at least it was a few years ago. I had the original shorts, so I think they improved upon them, but the fabric totally lost its shape and was all stretched out after a few washes...

    Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

    Thanks, I'll check these two out in person. I'm not sure I want to spend that much, but those do look nice. I have a pair of Outlier shorts which had similar marketing but were pretty awful once I owned them for a bit and definitely not worth the premium. What is the sizing like? I'm a 31 in...

    Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

    I'm looking for 1-2 pairs of shorts, which is kind of tough this time of year. Any recommendations? - budget of ~$45 - preferably synthetic, not cotton or wool - stretch, so I can hike in them, but still nice enough that I can wear them to a (casual) bar. Solid color is probably best. -...

    The Uniqlo Thread

    They don't fit exactly TTS, I am a 31 and I am probably a true 32 or even 33. Highly highly recommend the sweatpants if anyone is looking for some. Fit and fabric is great and they don't stretch at the knees like the old ones.

    Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

    Having recently spent over a year living out of a suitcase, both sides definitely have their appeal. I think his message isn't that you have to live on as little as possible but just to think before buying things. I know a lot of people, and I'm sure most of you do too, that own 3 lifetimes...

    The What Are You Wearing Today (WAYWT) Discussion Thread, Part II

    It could just be the photo but if anything that jacket looks too big?

    Random fashion thoughts - Part II (A New Hope)

    I'd assume you could replace the whole sole but I'd probably start with injecting gorilla glue in the hole and then sanding it smooth + staining it once it dries. It looks like it could crack all the way around the layer if you're not careful, though.

    The Contentedness thread

    Weird. Mine aren't even that worn. Maybe your stride hits the ground funny or something? I think these are 3-4 years old.
